Hi there

More often than not, once you have been trying to get pregnant for more than two years, you should be able to ask your GP to refer you to a consultant specialising in infertility for further investigations. It seems as if you might have already been referred to someone, due to you having a diagnosis of PCOS on one ovary? If that is the case, then it would not be unreasonable to ask for a referral back again to discuss possible treatment options for you.

hello..

i am suffering with the same thing and been trying for a baby with my partner now for few years im 22 so no doctor wants to touch me when it comes to p.c.o.s. i've not had much luck with pregnancys i had a eptopic in 2009 they took one my tubes as a young women who was then told kids isnt a possiblty and as of my age nothing can be done but i went to a chinese herbal shop and spoke to there doctor and ive been given some tablets called ovarian cyst & tubal obstruction i have to take 15 of these days and a £20 a tub for one weeks supply its alot of money in these tablets is Huang Qi... Dang Shen...Hong Hua... Dang Gui... Chuan Xiong and Ginseng i dont know if these work 3months supposed to be on them i did however last month chuck up 5poss tests but unfortunately due to me stop taking the meds i couldnt hold the term of the pregnancy but never the less im continuing the tablets at 15 aday been told a dozen of helpfull tips..... eat grapes....lay on belly after sex...keep feet warm at all times plus ur own body... regular excerise with p.c.o.s helps alot! just dont over do yourself i am starting a page on facebook facebook.com/PCOSgrouptalk for all those looking for help and advice and just to let it out with other women who are dealing with this we are not alone x

I was going to say what Diane has said, i would recommend going back to you GP given that you have been trying for over 2 years.

Good luck!
